Nearly perfect! 4

To designate this as an all-round talent "MP3 player", would miss the point. Because in addition to MP3, the Clip + also can play a variety of other audio formats such as OGG and FLAC. Who like me lossless audio compression via FLAC is important, coming past the Clip + is very difficult. I have the clip + now now 4 weeks in use, here my review:

PRO:
----------
- Support various lossy (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, WMA) and lossless audio formats (FLAC)
- As big as a matchbox, yet an easy to read display
- Long battery life
- Memory through MicroSD card expandable
- Intuitive operation
- Supports both navigation via tags and folder navigation
- Easy Linux Integration

CONTRA:
----------
- Non-exchangeable battery (as but actually almost all players in this class)
- When I had loaded a OGG file with incorrect metadata ("tags") to the player, froze the Clip + in updating the database. Only when the corrupted file was deleted from the player, the database was able to update again easily. SanDisk knows about the problem and it will fix via firmware update.
- The supplied headphones are rather average.

Tip:
----------
- You should definitely make sure that you select a locale "North America" ​​or "rest of the world" and not Europe. Otherwise, the output volume of the player is too low, which does not actually located directly on Sandisk, but to EU regulations. Furthermore, you can see the output level of the Clip + increase by the volume of "agents" to "High" is in the system settings.

Conclusion:
------
The price / performance ratio is unbeatable. Operation of the player is very intuitive. Besides the possibility of "tagged" songs by artist / album / genre ... to find the clip + the option of "Folder Navigation" provides what is likely to be particularly useful if you have your audio files inadequately tagged , The point deduction is available for the paltry fault tolerance corrupt Audio Files. Here it may be already, that the database crashes while updating. Running then you get your player again, when the faulty audio file is deleted from the player. After contact with the SanDisk support was assured that this bug will be fixed in a future firmware update.
Nevertheless: buy recommendation!
